Morphology

annoyed = annoy (transparent) = annoy + ed

Formed by the verb 'annoy' + the adjectival/past participle suffix '-ed', yielding an easily derivable state.

Etymology

Annoyed comes from an old French verb meaning 'to trouble' or 'to make hateful', and it is related to the Latin word odium meaning 'hate'. So when you are annoyed you feel bothered, troubled, or a little angry because of something.
